Page 5: General Information
BX600 General information The Blade Server Concept The Blade Server System concept is a modular concept which separates the I/O functionality (switch blade, SCSI blade, FC pass-thru blade) from the CPU (server blade). Two management blades with an integrated management solution for complete redundant remote administration of the system are also implemented.
Page 6 PCI expansion slot. The VGA and USB connectors at the front of each server blade can be used for local, on-site maintenance. The PRIMERGY BX600 chassis provides redundant and hot-pluggable infra- structure modules that are connected to the server blades by means of a passive midplane.
Page 7: Features
Features High level of availability and failure protection The PRIMERGY BX600 blade server system offers a high level of reliability and availability through highly developed hardware and software components: – When memory data is accessed, 1-bit errors in the main memory are recog- nized and automatically corrected with the ECC (Error Correcting Code) method.
Page 8 Features General information Memory There are three memory banks available on each server blade. These can be populated with 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB or 4 memory each with two DDR SDRAM modules. The maximum memory expansion is 12 GB. ECC with memory scrubbing function and hot-spare memory bank is standard.

Features General information Other Boards: Features KVM blade The rear KVM blade provides the VGA, PS2 keyboard and mouse interface in the KVM connector for local administration of the server blades. To connect these devices a special cable is required, see page 02-BX600-27.
Page 11 This configuration is redundant and hot-swappable. Server management With ServerView and PDA technology, Fujitsu Siemens Computers offers a complete server management solution. ServerView allows the management of all PRIMERGY servers in the network using a single central console, normally a standard PC running the Microsoft Windows operating system.
Page 12 Features General information ServerStart ServerStart is a powerful tool for setting up your new PRIMERGY server. ServerStart allows you to configure your server and install the operating system and additional components quickly and easily. You can make use of ServerStart when switching on the operating system and make adjustments to the system settings later.

Page 204 Update revision 11.2004 Updates Product Hard disk drives – The 80-pin SCA hard disks are plugged into a directly connected 1-channel backplane. – If HostRAID functionality is used, the onboard LSI 1021 can be replaced during operation (hot replacement). If the bottom SCSI hard disk bay is used for the PCI expansion module, only one SCSI hard disk can be installed.
Page 205 Updates Update revision 11.2004 Product PCI options – A PCI slot can be provided instead of the bottom hard disk bay. – A PCI slot is a short slot with full height. It offers PCI-X 64bit/100MHz. This solution only allows one internal SCSI hard disk module per server blade.
